Functional assays in marine biotoxin detection

Toxicology, 2005
The contamination of seafood by algal toxins regularly affects animals living in several areas of the world, and the number of toxic phycotoxins which are being characterized is steadily increasing. The extreme dynamics characterizing the field of algal toxins has stimulated the development of tools to be implemented in the monitoring of contamination ...

How the marine biotoxins affect human health

Natural Product Research, 2017
Several marine microalgae produce dangerous toxins very damaging to human health, aquatic ecosystems and coastal resources. These Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in recent decades seem greatly increased regarding frequency, severity and biogeographical level, causing serious health risks as a consequence of the consumption of contaminated seafood.

Review on Marine Biotoxins Toxicity and Detection Methods

Proceedings of the 2020 10th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Technology, 2020
Consumption of seafood contaminated by marine toxins will result in various poisoning syndromes. Marine biotoxins are toxic chemicals mainly derived from harmful algal blooms. Particular attention is paid to components analysis, detection methods and therapeutical treatment.

Eutrophication, marine biotoxins, human health

1992
Eutrophication phenomena in marine coastal waters can today be explained on the basis of natural or anthropogenic causes. Undesirable effects and also sanitary problems in both types of eutrophication are often produced, but they may differ greatly in frequency and significance. Some algal biotoxins can affect both marine animals and man, whilst others

Multiplex biotoxin surface plasmon resonance method for marine biotoxins in algal and seawater samples

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2012
A multiplex surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor method for the detection of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins, okadaic acid (and analogues) and domoic acid was developed. This method was compared to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods.

In vitro bioaccessibility of the marine biotoxin okadaic acid in shellfish

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2016
Okadaic acid (OA) and their derivatives are marine toxins responsible for the human diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP). To date the amount of toxins ingested in food has been considered equal to the amount of toxins available for uptake by the human body.

Investigation of marine biotoxins and human toxicity

2018
Marine biotoxins are correlated with proliferation of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and can accumulate in seafood products, with severe consequences both on fishery industry and consumer health. Recently, an increase of HABs occurred worldwide due to climate change or anthropogenic activities such as discharge of nutrients from domestic and industrial ...

The Determination of Marine Biotoxins in Seafood

2017
Marine biotoxins are natural toxins produced by specific algae species. These toxins can accumulate in seafood such as mussels, oysters and fish. Consumption of contaminated seafood may lead to severe intoxication such as memory loss, paralysis, diarrhoea and even death.

Marine Mammals as Sentinels of Environmental Biotoxins

2002
Harmful algal blooms (HABs), commonly known as “red tides,” are documented in almost every coastal region of the world. Over the past decade, these toxic blooms appear to have increased in number, magnitude, and seasonal duration, potentially due to the spread of toxic algal species to new areas, eutrophication caused by human development of coastal ...
